After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

If it is cluttered buyers will have a harder time visioning themselves living there. 

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

China as a low cost producer is past- they have aged and standard of living out.  

Also, optimize the new assisted living facility that we just purchased in January.

I try sending a video or doing a live video walk-through with them so they can get a better idea of the layout, condition, neighborhood, etc.2.

I am 24 y/o and live in Fairfield County, CT looking to buy my first property...likely house hacking a multi-family.

That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.
